When the dust settled, it was Iron Man that was lying amid the debris that was left. Sacrificing himself to kill Thanos and wipe out his entire army out of existence, Tony Stark became a selfless version of the egoistic entrepreneur. Moving on with their timeline, Marvel announced their lineup of the next two phases. Hinting a potential return of the genius, billionaire, playboy & philanthropist Tony Stark, in Avengers: Secret Wars, here is the fan theory explained.

The actor has become fan-favorite ever since Marvel’s Avengers (2012).

In the comics, Kang the conqueror creates an army of Thors. The army called Thor Corps is made up of similar people like Thor who are able to pick his mighty hammer Mjolnir. Among the Thors corps, an alternate version of Iron Man picks up the Mjolnir and joins the Thors Corps fighting for none other than Kang!
The alternate dimensional character of Iron Man called Iron Hammer will probably be featured in Kang’s army and if it does, the people would surely be thrilled to see their beloved character return even though for a few moments.
Avengers: Secret Wars is slated for a release on 7th November 2025 and will be one of the two films to cap off Marvel’s Phase 6.
